University of Missouri Kansas City requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead means arriving with a visit that covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis B and C, same-visit bacterial treatment, PrEP, and vaccines: fees slide by income, and insurance is accepted.
Plenty of clinics cap their panel at the four bacterial and viral basics, leaving hepatitis to a separate appointment elsewhere. University of Missouri Kansas City tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C on the same visit, so chronic viral liver infections get caught in the same sweep as gonorrhea or syphilis.
University of Missouri Kansas City prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning the medications that block HIV transmission are managed through this clinic, not routed to a separate provider. Ongoing PrEP monitoring, which requires regular HIV and kidney-function testing, stays in the same place as the prescription.
Many STI clinics handle Spanish through an interpreter line, a workaround that sits between patient and provider. At University of Missouri Kansas City, Spanish-language care is delivered directly, so conversations about sexual health, treatment, and prevention happen in Spanish from the start.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jackson County, the county that includes Unity Village, compare with Missouri and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~49% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#2 of 115 Missouri counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Jackson County | Missouri | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 907.1 6,518 cases ▲ 82% | 498.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 414.2 2,976 cases ▲ 105% | 201.9 | 179.5 |

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Jackson County, chlamydia has risen from 874.9 to 907.1 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 517.1 to 414.2 per 100,000 (20%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 30.3 to 45.5 per 100,000 (50%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Jackson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Missouri is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Jackson County HIV care continuum (2023)
Jackson County recorded 17.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 10.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jackson County residents living with HIV, 80.3% are in care · 64.2% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Jackson County tests for syphilis.

The clinics here operate with genuine confidentiality; what you discuss and what results show remain between you and the provider, period.

Two things that actually depend on Missouri law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In Missouri, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Missouri permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
